Spectron amplifier - new black faceplate?


Hi,

Spectron Audio web site states that they have new black faceplates and I wonder if someone has Spectron amp with this look? I am considering to get their monoblocks.

It seems (from their web site) that they are on the rise - hiring new people, getting new reviews, even new Remote Sense cables... interesting

Thanks
Mike

Bostonbean, they look interesting. Curious, with such a strong magnetic field would it effect the circuitry in some way, over time etc.
Oscar44, yes, those are the devices.

Snopro, I have wondered the same. Ask Simon, he would best answer your question. Let us know what he says. By the way, beautiful setup you have.

Koiman, One set of 4. They are relatively inexpensive.
Hello,

1 - Yes, these are indeed very new devices, available in USA only about two months or less

2 - Still, current issue of Stereo Times has review of Russel Lichter of these devices: "Not simply the best imaging and detail I've heard on this system, but imaging that was quite astonishing at times." Useful review

3 - No, should be zero audioble effect of this permanent magnet filed. It drops extremely rapidly ("missile effect"?) and you can imagine that you move your equipment from location to another. Earth magnetic field varies from 0.1 to 1.3 Gauss.

4 - Be careful with weight range. I recently corresponded with the manufacturer who suggested: "..If your component is towards the upper end of a given weight range, it will generally be a good idea to go to the next higher rated set" From my experience its true! We will hear experience of others.

Thank you
Simon
